I noticed you tested Bridgestone RE92 tires and they had the best rolling resistance. I've been reading reviews on them and they are less than spectacular. Did you have these for a length of time where you can comment on thread-wear, traction, and corning? I usually take my corners pretty fast upwards of 45mph but the reviews say corning is terrible which I guess makes sense if they have the least amount of resistance. Sorry for the long message. Thanks for any info.

I drove on these for ~2 years on the Insight, and currently have some on my Firefly as well.
I didn't really pay attention to treadwear -- I drive so little that my tires typically dry rot before they're all worn out. But you can probably find info about that on Insight Central if you search.
I disagree that cornering grip is "terrible". The Insight was a decent handling car, and I rarely burned momentum needlessly by braking too much before the curves. In general I probably corner at above average speeds, but to keep my comments in context you have to understand where I'm coming from: most of my driving has been on 155/80R13's the past 10 years.
Anybody else want to chip in?
